BACKGROUND 1. Field

The present disclosure relates to the compound 7-(4-((5-(4-chlorobenzylideneamino)-2-thioxo-1,3,4-thiadiazol-3(2H)-yl)methyl)piperazin-1-yl)-1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid, its synthesis, and its use as an anti-inflammatory agent.

2. Description of the Related Art

There remains an ongoing need for new therapeutically active agents for treating a variety of diseases, disorders, and conditions including, but not limited to, various forms of cancer, various microbial infections, and the like.

Further, once such new therapeutically active agents are designed and/or discovered, they are often difficult to synthesize and/or prepare. It remains difficult to prepare such compounds without using solvents, to obtain a high yield, based on efficient reaction times, which are easy to use, and which involve a catalyst that can be recycled.

The enhanced global encumbrance of cancer in the last decades devoted extensive research to the discovery of novel selective potent candidates with a promising ability either to destroy cancer cells or limit their proliferation. Similarly, bacterial infection remains a significant threat to human life due to its increasing resistance to conventional antibiotics, which is a growing public health concern. As a result, there is a critical need to create new antimicrobial agents with potent anti-drug-resistant microorganism activity. That is why antimicrobial agent investigations are so critical and should always be up to date.

The chemistry of heterocycles lies at the heart of drug discovery. Investigation of fortunate organic compounds for drug discovery has been a rapidly emerging theme in medicinal chemistry. The thiadiazole ring system has shown numerous biological activities including anticancer, antifungal, antiviral, antidiabetic, analgesic, antieplileptic, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory activities. The enhanced liposolubility imparted by the sulfur atom of the thiadiazole core in addition to the mesoionic nature can allow compounds incorporating such a motif to interact with biological targets with distinct affinities after penetration across cellular membranes. Recent studies displayed the ability of 1,3,4-thiadiazole compounds to inhibit a variety of molecular targets, including kinases which allowed their activity against different cancer cell lines presenting them as a promising scaffold for antitumor drug discovery.

Furthermore, ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic agent and its derivatives exhibited diverse biological activities such as antibacterial, anti-TB, antifungal, anti-HIV, anti-malarial, anti-tumor, anti-ischemic, and anti-oxidation activities as well as ureases inhibitory activity. Imaging profiles have been developed in the last years, and the antibacterial property remains the domain research field of ciprofloxacin derivatives.

Multi-component reactions (MCRs) are economically and environmentally beneficial to industry and have attracted much attention.

Thus, new molecules having desired therapeutic activities and solving the aforementioned problems are desired.

Administration of the compound or pharmaceutical compositions thereof can be by any method that delivers the compound systemically and/or locally. These methods include oral routes, parenteral routes, intraduodenal routes, and the like.

While human dosage levels have yet to be optimized for the present compound, generally, a daily dose is from about 0.01 to 10.0 mg/kg of body weight, for example about 0.1 to 5.0 mg/kg of body weight. The precise effective amount will vary from subject to subject and will depend upon the species, age, the subject's size and health, the nature and extent of the condition being treated, recommendations of the treating physician, and the therapeutics or combination of therapeutics selected for administration. The subject may be administered as many doses as is required to reduce and/or alleviate the signs, symptoms, or causes of the disease or disorder in question, or bring about any other desired alteration of a biological system.

In employing the present compound for treatment of inflammation, any pharmaceutically acceptable mode of administration can be used with other pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, including solid, semi-solid, liquid or aerosol dosage forms, such as, for example, tablets, capsules, powders, liquids, suspensions, suppositories, aerosols or the like. The present compounds can also be administered in sustained or controlled release dosage forms, including depot injections, osmotic pumps, pills, transdermal (including electrotransport) patches, and the like, for the prolonged administration of the compound at a predetermined rate, preferably in unit dosage forms suitable for single administration of precise dosages.

The present compounds may also be administered as compositions prepared as foods for humans or animals, including medical foods, functional food, special nutrition foods and dietary supplements. A “medical food” is a product prescribed by a physician that is intended for the specific dietary management of a disorder or health condition for which distinctive nutritional requirements exist and may include formulations fed through a feeding tube (referred to as enteral administration or gavage administration).

A “dietary supplement” shall mean a product that is intended to supplement the human diet and may be provided in the form of a pill, capsule, tablet, or like formulation. By way of non-limiting example, a dietary supplement may include one or more of the following dietary ingredients: vitamins, minerals, herbs, botanicals, amino acids, and dietary substances intended to supplement the diet by increasing total dietary intake, or a concentrate, metabolite, constituent, extract, or combinations of these ingredients, not intended as a conventional food or as the sole item of a meal or diet. Dietary supplements may also be incorporated into foodstuffs, such as functional foods designed to promote control of glucose levels. A “functional food” is an ordinary food that has one or more components or ingredients incorporated into it to give a specific medical or physiological benefit, other than a purely nutritional effect. “Special nutrition food” means ingredients designed for a particular diet related to conditions or to support treatment of nutritional deficiencies.

Generally, depending on the intended mode of administration, the pharmaceutically acceptable composition will contain about 0.1% to 90%, for example about 0.5% to 50%, by weight of the present compound, the remainder being suitable pharmaceutical excipients, carriers, etc.

One manner of administration for the conditions detailed above is oral, using a convenient daily dosage regimen which can be adjusted according to the degree of affliction. For such oral administration, a pharmaceutically acceptable, non-toxic composition is formed by the incorporation of any of the normally employed excipients, such as, for example, mannitol, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, sodium saccharine, talcum, cellulose, sodium croscarmellose, glucose, gelatin, sucrose, magnesium carbonate, and the like. Such compositions take the form of solutions, suspensions, tablets, dispersible tablets, pills, capsules, powders, sustained release formulations and the like.

The present compositions may take the form of a pill or tablet and thus the composition may contain, along with the active ingredient, a diluent such as lactose, sucrose, dicalcium phosphate, or the like; a lubricant such as magnesium stearate or the like; and a binder such as starch, gum acacia, polyvinyl pyrrolidine, gelatin, cellulose and derivatives thereof, and the like.

Liquid pharmaceutically administrable compositions can, for example, be prepared by dissolving, dispersing, etc. an active compound as defined above and optional pharmaceutical adjuvants in a carrier, such as, for example, water, saline, aqueous dextrose, glycerol, glycols, ethanol, and the like, to thereby form a solution or suspension. If desired, the pharmaceutical composition to be administered may also contain minor amounts of nontoxic auxiliary substances such as wetting agents, emulsifying agents, or solubilizing agents, pH buffering agents and the like, for example, sodium acetate, sodium citrate, cyclodextrin derivatives, sorbitan monolaurate, triethanolamine acetate, triethanolamine oleate, etc.

For oral administration, a pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic composition may be formed by the incorporation of any normally employed excipients, such as, for example, pharmaceutical grades of mannitol, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, talcum, cellulose derivatives, sodium croscarmellose, glucose, sucrose, magnesium carbonate, sodium saccharin, talcum and the like. Such compositions take the form of solutions, suspensions, tablets, capsules, powders, sustained release formulations and the like.

For a solid dosage form, a solution or suspension in, for example, propylene carbonate, vegetable oils or triglycerides, may be encapsulated in a gelatin capsule. Such diester solutions, and the preparation and encapsulation thereof, are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,328,245; 4,409,239; and 4,410,545, the contents of each of which are incorporated herein by reference. For a liquid dosage form, the solution, e.g., in a polyethylene glycol, may be diluted with a sufficient quantity of a pharmaceutically acceptable liquid carrier, e.g., water, to be easily measured for administration.

Alternatively, liquid or semi-solid oral formulations may be prepared by dissolving or dispersing the active compound or salt in vegetable oils, glycols, triglycerides, propylene glycol esters (e.g., propylene carbonate) and the like, and encapsulating these solutions or suspensions in hard or soft gelatin capsule shells.

Other useful formulations include those set forth in U.S. Pat. Nos. Re. 28,819 and 4,358,603, the contents of each of which are hereby incorporated by reference.

Another manner of administration is parenteral administration, generally characterized by injection, either subcutaneously, intramuscularly or intravenously. Injectables can be prepared in conventional forms, either as liquid solutions or suspensions, solid forms suitable for solution or suspension in liquid prior to injection, or as emulsions. Suitable excipients are, for example, water, saline, dextrose, glycerol, ethanol or the like. In addition, if desired, the pharmaceutical compositions to be administered may also contain minor amounts of non-toxic auxiliary substances such as wetting or emulsifying agents, pH buffering agents, solubility enhancers, and the like, such as for example, sodium acetate, sorbitan monolaurate, triethanolamine oleate, cyclodextrins, etc.

Another approach for parenteral administration employs the implantation of a slow-release or sustained-release system, such that a constant level of dosage is maintained. The percentage of active compound contained in such parenteral compositions is highly dependent on the specific nature thereof, as well as the activity of the compound and the needs of the subject. However, percentages of active ingredient of 0.01% to 10% in solution are employable and will be higher if the composition is a solid which will be subsequently diluted to the above percentages. The composition may comprise 0.2% to 2% of the active agent in solution.

Nasal solutions of the active compound alone or in combination with other pharmaceutically acceptable excipients can also be administered.

Formulations of the active compound or a salt may also be administered to the respiratory tract as an aerosol or solution for a nebulizer, or as a microfine powder for insufflation, alone or in combination with an inert carrier such as lactose. In such a case, the particles of the formulation have diameters of less than 50 microns, for example less than 10 microns.

In a further embodiment, the present subject matter relates to a method of treating inflammation in a patient comprising administering to a patient in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of the 7-(4-((5-(4-chlorobenzylideneamino)-2-thioxo-1,3,4-thiadiazol-3(2H)-yl)methyl)piperazin-1-yl)-1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid compound.

Example 2 Anti-Inflammatory Activity

Bovine Serum Albumin Assay (BSA)

In vitro-inflammatory activities of the tested samples were determined using a modified method of the BSA assay reported by Williams et al. BSA solution (0.4%, w/v) was prepared in Tris Buffered Saline. The pH was adjusted to 6.4 with glacial acetic acid. Different dilutions of 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 μg/mL of 7-(4-((5-(4-chlorobenzylideneamino)-2-thioxo-1,3,4-thiadiazol-3(2H)-yl)methyl)piperazin-1-yl)-1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid (IV) the stock solutions were added to test tubes containing 1 mL of 0.4%, w/v BSA buffer solution. Both negative (solvent) and positive (aspirin) controls were assayed in a similar manner. The solutions were then heated in a water bath at 72° C. for 10 minutes, and cooled for 20 minutes under laboratory conditions. The turbidity of the solutions (level of protein precipitation) was measured at 660 nm in Spectrophotometer (V-770 UV-Visible/NIR Spectrophotometer). The percentage inhibition of precipitation (protein denaturation) was determined relative to the negative control using the following equation:

${\%{Anti}}‐{{{Denaturation}{Activity}} = \frac{{{Absorbance}{of}{control}} - {{Absorbance}{of}{sample} \times 100}}{{Absorbance}{of}{control}}}$ % Anti-Denaturation Activity=% Inhibition of Protein Denaturation=% Anti-inflammatory Activity
